By the middle of the nineteenth century, the British East India Company faced the loss of its monopoly on the fantastically lucrative tea trade with China, forcing it to make the drastic decision of sending Scottish botanist Robert Fortune to steal the crop from deep within China and bring it back to British plantations in India. Fortune's danger-filled odyssey, magnificently recounted here, reads like adventure fiction, revealing a long-forgotten chapter of the past and the wondrous origins of a seemingly ordinary beverage.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"For All the Tea in China: How England Stole the World's Favorite Drink and Changed History | Sarah Rose | Paperback | 9780143118749 | Used: Very Good | History 1637573","offer_id":48537785139352,"sku":"1637573","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71mIzCuTixL.jpg?v=1773501011","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/for-all-the-tea-in-china-how-england-stole-the-worlds-favorite-drink-and-changed-history","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
